Did you think I was going to post pictures of brunch or something? Actually we did get to go out for brunch because Kate’s game was on Saturday and Ben’s wasn’t until late Sunday afternoon. It’s the first time in at least 5 years.
Both games ended in a 1-1 tie. Ben’s was a conventional score, with each time scoring 1 goal each. Kate’s however, featured the most bizarre own goal I’ve ever seen. Usually an own goal results from a misplayed ball by the defense. They shank it or it caroms off their head as they are trying to clear and ends up in their own net instead. Not the own goal in Kate’s game. The other team was attacking, and had the ball in our defensive third. One of their girls got the ball but there was pressure so she turned away from it. Or so I thought. But after turning away from the pressure, she kept dribbling the ball, all the way down the other end. She was off on a breakaway and then shot on her own goal!! But the weird thing was their keeper didn’t try to yell at her to turn around, or even try to make a play on the ball. She just sort of let it roll in. Very bizarre!
On another note, I hate shooting at the field where Kate played. There’s just something about the way the light is there that makes skin tones pasty and gives my camera and lenses fits when focusing. I’ve hated it since Ben played there and it is always the same experience.
woah nice moves!!!
